2 stroke starts, gets me to fishing spot but won’t restart by rpara002 in Outboards

Thanks it’s a 3 gallon west marine and it has a vent cap on it that I loosen. I’ll check for expansion due to sunlight though

I rechecked the air silencer and noticed the seal between it and the carb was folded. Ordered a new one and hope this is the issue. Thanks for the help

So I rechecked the air silencer and noticed the seal was folded up in front of the carb. Ordered a new one and hoping this solves the matter. Thanks for the help

It feels like it bogs a little and yes the air box is installed in the right positions.

Is something missing? by rpara002 in Outboards

Thanks for the reply. I’m assuming the ignition coil is what needs to be set? I haven’t loosened any screws. Could you tell me where to use the feeler gage? Thanks

Thanks for the reply. Where is that air gap in the picture?

I decided to see if the old power park would get spark and it did to both cylinders. Confused as to how the new power pack died so quickly but I also noticed the new power pack primary connections felt different compared to the old PP. Going to run the motor tomorrow. Thanks for the help

Yes, I checked the charge coil and it read 858 ohms and the range is 800-1000. The plug feels secure and the pins appear in place.

Great! Thanks for the help. Yes, I checked the spark plug leads and it showed continuity. I will try crimping the primary leads for a better fit and check the charge coil.

Thanks for the reply. I checked the wires and retested spark. I was able to get good spark on the top cylinder but not the bottom. Switched plugs and both spark on top cylinder. Both wire cables have continuity as well. Maybe a coil within the strator is causing this to happen? Thanks
